PAMA does not want any competition in the market whatsoever. Be it imports or any new local assembler. By completely restricting the market to local cars, they will be able to demand even higher amount of OWN from customers. Imports are already negligible in number due to lobbying by local auto companies yet still local automakers seem to be making a fuss about the little imports that do make their way into the country..
PAMA should make themselves useful and focus on exports if they really want to benefit the economy. By having very little localization in cars, just like imports cars local auto makers are also causing foreign exchange to flow out of the country.
